About this event
50up breaks down stereotypes around ageing and what is often considered too difficult or even impossible for older bodies - through circus!

50up is a showcase night of fabulous people, 50 and up, celebrating energy, creativity and extraordinary acts of physical strength, through aerials and circus arts performances.

Featuring a cast of people from all walks of life - many of whom took up circus in their 40s or 50s. - this show proves it's never too late to run away with the circus!

The wonderful ageism campaigner and talented musician and entertainer, Monica Trapaga, will host this event.

Performance notes
  • Content warnings: Verbal Audience Interaction, Physical Contact with Audience Members
  • Things to note: Things to note: This is not a professional circus performance. Our performers are mostly students and amateur performers, from various Sydney circus schools, who started circus classes recreationally in their 40s and 50s and are at different points in their circus journey. The inaugural 50up showcase, at Sydney Trapeze School in July 2024, brought them together to celebrate their creativity and achievements, and to inspire others try out circus for the first time. This is the first 50up fringe performance.
